'Peace In A Palm'(Finding Godly Peace In My Poetry)' is a collection of inspirational poems written by Beverly A. McLaughlin. The poetry that she writes is written of her own human experiences. After tragically losing her daughter three days after her 44th birthday Beverly would go on to raise her daughter’s two children. One child 2 years old and the other child a boy that her daughter gave birth to before she died. Which was the following day. Beverly and her husband of many years would go on to not only raise her daughter’s two children but would become missionaries. Working with orphan sheltered children in Kenya. Both Beverly and her husband would establish an organization that would provide help to these orphan children in Africa. Naming the organization FOSCIK. Which stands for Friends Of Sheltered Children In Kenya. Many of the poetry that Beverly has written derived from her many experiences upon her travels there. In her writing of the poetry contained in this book, Beverly hopes that her writings would inspire people who may be experiencing some sort of tragic situation in their lives, Letting them know that light does shine at the end of tunnels which are filled with darkness. Allowing them to live again after tragedy. Because she says it did for her after losing her daughter. Being given the opportunity to raise her daughter’s children and care for other children too. Beverly says that though she did face challenging times, God was always there in the midst of whatever challenges she would face. God, she said knew what I needed and He provided me with it. Most important, Beverly says 'through it all the most important thing was that His peace came to her in word form. Words that He fed to my spirit'. Words that she would now like to share with people so that they too can experience the kind of peace that God gave to her during those trialing times in her life.
